following information was obtained
from General Manager Marvel OF the
road: 1t ia proposed to build $50
miles from the western end OF tho
Manitoba road to Great Falls, Mon,
and ninety miles from Great Falls 10
Helena. THIS extraordinary step ia
made necessary because OF delay
caused by negotiations with the
Northern PaCino Railroad. This latter

TO enable tho Manitoba to build from

placed such a heavy freight upon
the transportation of the rails
that it amounted to prohibition.
The contract has been let for
the whole work, which stipulates that
it shall be completed on or before
November 29d next. II order that
this may be accomplished the services
Of moro than 5000 graders will be re-

SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD
AMONG THE RUINS OF THE RICH
MOND HOTEL.
The Walls Expected to Fall at any
Reconsideration Of the
Wounded.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 20.-Work-
men today began a search OF the ruins
Of the Richmond Hotel, but 1t was
slowly prosecuted owing to the dan
gerous condition OF the walls having
greatly increased since yesterday, The
mild weather prevailing drew out the
frost and II the walls tumble to-
night it will not be surprising. A
stiff wind would carry them over in
very short order. Charles Derrick,
the contractor who has the work in
charge, watched the walls very care
fully while the men we're back in the
debris, aud when thu laborers stopped
for the night he declared that no
further risk OF the living for the dead
would be allowed. Tomonow mora
ing the walls will be tom down and
then large force CT men will be en-
gagged in the removal Of the debris
without further delay. No bodies
were recovered today. Thousands OF
people visited the scene OF the great
FIRE, but were kept at point OF safety
by Gordon OF police and life lines
drawn with heavy ropes. Jennie
Mann, the little daughter Of one OF the
hotel proprietors, in the rescue OF
whom ii. b. Ramsey, OF New York,
sustained injuries tina. caused his
death, died this evenirg. Her mother
is very low and will not be told of her
double siIlicton until abe is strong
enough to stand the ehock. Annie

but she is in critical condition. The
death list remains the same, with the
exception OF the addition oil Jennie
Mann. The hotel Of MsrVin o. Nor

flame structure, was buried tonight,
causing loss of 5000, on which there
was insurance of $4,000. The boarders

A GREAT MARKET FOR WATERMELONS.
Between 5000 and 10000 Eaten Every Day
in IndianapOlis-Whe They Come From.

Indianapolis, In proportion to population, has
no superior a market for the watermelon.
This is now about the middle of the season, and
the average daily receipt of watermelons is
sixteen carloads, of which more than half
actually retailed here, the remainder being
shipped to smaller neighboring towns. There are
from 1000 to ]. $50 watermelons in a carload, SO
that it is fair to say that from 5000 to 900
watermeons eaten here every day.
The melons now arriving grown in Indiana,
and come chiefly from Posey, Gibson and Knox
counties, and few from Greene county. The
dry season has been favorable to the
watermelon, and they average sweeter and
better than for several years. though they are
hardly so large. The best melons selling at
$14 hundred in carload lots and from that
range down to So hundred. The watermelon
is the only perfect fruit this year. all others hav
ing suffered from drought The melon crop,
however, is likely to be less and the season
shorter than heretofore. The favorite melon.
and indeed about the only variety, is the Kolb
Gem. named from r. F. Kolb of Eufaula Ala,
who has perfected the variety. The old
fashioned watermelon, from two feet to a yard
long. with the dark green rind, is seldom seen
now: nearly all the melons are the Kolb Gem,
light green, with whitish stripes. The only dark
rind meious-and they few in nurnber-are
the Pride of Georgia, and the yellow-cored
melon seems to have entirely disappeared.
The first melons of the season come from
Florida next come the Texas melons, then
Georgia. southern Missouri and southern Indi.
Daviess county comes in after Posey and
Gibson, and Jackson county follows. The sea-
son here closes with melons from the Kankakee,
which are latest in the market. The kankakee
melon holds on long enough to supply the visit
ors to the State fair. The first melons come here
the last of May 1st of june and the last finger
until the LIST of October. In Georgia the largest
melon fields seldom exceed one hundred acres in
extent In this State the largest growers put in
from thirty to fifty 1t is said to require
more work to raise melon crop than a crop of
corn but it is quick crop and spot cash. The
yield is about carload to the acre.

With sad grieved eyes. What is it that you sayg

And in libation pour the sacred wine,
And Gull your fairest flowers to wreathe his brow
The wine is stale; the flowers withered now.
Somehow cannot reason ought.

Among our household deities to place
A stranger idol in that empty space,

And wasted wine, my heart the fault is ours;
In that did foolish thing and odd,
We made the niche before we saw the god.

Health Insurance.

DR.. Woods Hutchinsor, in North American Review
The astute Chinese. who were discussing civil
service reform when our ancestors were build
ing the reed-hut and hurting the hint-tipped
javelin, are said to pay their medical attendants
regularly so long they enjoy good health, but
promptly to discontinue their remittances on the
first appearance of sickness, to resume only on
recoyery-which, no doubt. has arisen from
their absurdly attempting to live up to a foolish
old proverb of ours about IAN ounce OF proven
ton
The plan which would respectfully submit is
briefly as follows: That at the beginning of the
calendar year each individual or family should
engage his medical attendant for the
next twelve months, agreeing to pay him
specified annual salary in advance either In full
In quarterly monthly ipstallments. The
physician, on his part, should agree TO render
any and all professional services required, ex-
cept operations or manipuations requiring the
skill and training of specialist. for the annual
consideration specified, which might readily be
fixed according to some rate per capita or per
familiar laid down the fes bill. The physi-
clan should further agree in consideration OF
the sum specified to make annual or semi
annual inspection of the sanitary condition OF
the house and premises Of his Client and to offer
such suggestions as he saw fit in regard TIC the
diet habit of life of himself or his family; in
short to act general adviser on all matters OF
hygiene therapeutics. The system might
briefly, and perhaps not inapttly, be described as
q scheme OF "health Insurance."
